Therapists in Hamilton

Matthew Kelley
Matthew Kelley
Hello! My name is Matthew, and I help men who feel weighed down by stress, self-doubt, or the pressure to have it all together. In therapy, we’ll untangle the messages from your past that hold you back, build healthier ways to cope, and foster the confidence and clarity you have inside. My goal is to create a space where you don’t have to carry everything alone and you can go through the process without judgement.

I take a holistic approach to mental health, and have worked in fitness and areas of spirituality prior to my work as a therapist. I help men figure out their lives as they reconsider their past, close the chapters they have yet to close, and move on to the next phase of their journey. Whatever the issue, I like to attack both symptoms and the roots of whatever ails you with a mix of Cognitive-Behavioural and Narrative therapeutic approaches.

For me, therapy is primarily about health, not illness. I believe that depression is a false story about who you believe you are. I work with men to help them discover the strong and capable person beneath the problems who is able to find a solid place in life. I have been a psychotherapist for 35 years and am eclectic and flexible in my approach to others according to their needs and abilities.
I have always been interested in what makes the world tick. After graduating from university I travelled, worked in a scrapyard, did furniture moving, courier delivery and worked as a driver for the disabled. I then followed this up with social service jobs in the YMCA and the government. However, I still felt unfulfilled in my search regarding life. And gradually it came to me: people, and what drives them, have created all of history. In this way I was led to my study of psychology, and my past 30 years in private practice have been a dream job.

Do you find yourself tired of facing feelings of anxiety, “being stuck,” sadness, low motivation, or a lack of self-love? Are you interested in creating a stronger sense of self, understanding your choices, and digging into the roots of why you feel the way you do? Are you interested in looking at your past, taking power back over your story, and learning about new ways to take a look at things? Do you want to learn more about how our physical health can influence our emotional well-being? Together, we can look at your past, present, and future goals, and provide you with an understanding of what this means to you. My therapy approach uses CBT, ACT, Narrative, and more, but our work would be unique to your goals and needs.

I hear you. I believe in you. I care. I believe therapy is beneficial because it allows people to share their stories in an environment that is safe and considers their unique needs. I strive to validate people’s emotions (because they are understandable), to highlight their strengths (because sometimes people can’t see them) and to build hope (because it can be restored). My approach draws from the principles of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and person-centred techniques amongst others. I aim to help people better understand emotions, process difficult experiences, address unhelpful behaviours and work towards the life they want.

I believe each client has unique needs which is why I take my lead from each client. Whether you’re feeling lonely, isolated, unwanted, or stressed; I will take the time to get to know your concerns first. Once we have identified your main concerns, we can work collaboratively towards your goals. I have experience working with adult men and seniors through crisis prevention and individual counselling. I currently provide virtual therapy as well as in-person counselling at my office in downtown Hamilton to adults 18+. Some approaches that I utilize are Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. Overall, I aim to provide a space where clients feel safe discussing their mental health.

Do you feel like you’re never good enough, or that you have to please others? Do you wish you could put yourself first more often, and make your wants and needs a priority? Do you struggle with confidence or self-esteem, stress, anxiety, and low-mood? Have you experienced trauma that follows you around? Would you like a better understanding of your behaviours in general, or in friendships and relationships? Together we can look at exploring the strengths, relationships, and experiences that have got you to this point, and move forward in a way that reconnects you with yourself and your goals. My areas of interest are mood (anxiety, stress, depression), self-esteem, Trauma, ADHD, relationship issues, and life transitions.

We’ll work together to set goals, create an environment where you can feel comfortable, and build concrete tools that you can use outside our sessions. I have experience working with clients who are dealing with symptoms of anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, relationship difficulties, parenting, separation / divorce, suicidal thoughts, and more. Remote therapy only.

Are you hoping to improve your mood and return to “feeling like yourself” again? Do you feel trapped by your triggers, traumas, or experiences, and want to better understand how your thoughts and feelings today are still connected to the past? Do you want a therapist who takes into consideration your values and background to help connect you to your experiences of past, present and future? If this sounds like you, together we can explore the ways you’re struggling or hoping to learn more about yourself in our work. I support both individuals and couples through their journeys. I hold a Masters of Counselling Psychology from Adler University and I am an EMDR Trauma practitioner which connects emotions, the body, and our traumas to heal.

I provide Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy for adults and adolescents experiencing symptoms due to traumatic, distressful events in childhood and/or adulthood. Feeling overwhelmed or stuck prevents you from living in the present moment. EMDR, as a comprehensive therapy, can help unlock traumatic memories trapped in the brain. Symptoms such as panic attacks, phobias, flashbacks, depression, and anxiety can affect our level of functionality, and the way we relate to ourselves and others in daily life, work, home, and school. Take the next step to your wellness! I look forward to hearing from you!

I utilize a collaborative approach to therapy where I’ll explain what we’re doing and why and we’ll engage in the process together. Therapy can be challenging, but can help you to live a better life.
